## Summary

Le Strette's 'classic' Nascetta, a blend from four Novello vineyards that puts the fruity, varietal side of this rescued native white grape first.

## Tasting notes

Straw yellow, sometimes with green glints. A delicate yet complex nose of ripe fruit, flowers, acacia honey, citrus and aromatic herbs, with light muscat-like hints (more evident when young) that reveal the grape's semi-aromatic nature. Savoury and persistent, fresh, with firm mineral structure and the faintest tannic grip

## Food pairings

Cured meats, meat starters, vegetable and fish dishes, delicate first courses, fresh cheeses
